Lions Association for Sight & Hearing of Maryland

Lions Association for Sight & Hearing Inc. (LASH) was created and is funded primarily by the Lions Clubs of District 22-A to preserve/restore sight and hearing.

Our service area is Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford and Howard counties. The Lions Association for Sight & Hearing of Maryland, Inc. (LASH) was created and funded by the Lions Clubs in Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford and Howard Counties that make up District 22A to provide the administrative body to conduct, foster and support projects and programs committed to the preservation and restoration of sight and hearing. LASH supports Lions club who provide health screening for vision and hearing problems. LASH and the clubs can provide eyeglasses and hearing aids to those who cannot afford them. In the areas within central Maryland that have no active Lions club, LASH may be the provider of hearing and sight services. The cost of those services are borne by LASH. LASH is supported primarily by the Lions clubs of District 22A. All contributions are tax deductible. Each year clubs are requested to make contributions. Individuals, industry and commerce are welcome to make contributions to further our service activities.

On Saturday, 8 April, LASH had its second semiannual Eyeglasses Sorting event of this FY at the Maryland School for the Blind. 32 Lions from 14 clubs participated.

They sorted 24,000 pairs of eyeglasses, 84 sets of hearing aids, and 70 cellphones. Eyeglasses will be sent to a company for reconditioning and reissue overseas or to a recycling company.

The hearing aids will be taken to the Towson University Hearing
and Balance Center for refurbishment to issue to clients who could otherwise not afford them.

The cellphones will be given to a veterans organization to recycle for money to purchase phone cards and the like for military overseas.

The Lions Association for Sight & Hearing of Maryland held its semiannual collection of eyeglasses, hearing aids and cellphones on April 11. District 22-A Lions Clubs brought donations from their servicing area to the drop off point in Dundalk. 17,500 eyeglasses were collected along with 67 sets of hearing aids and 200 cellphones.

The eyeglasses will be shipped to a company that will refurbish and ship them to those in need in South America and Africa.

The hearing aids will go to the Towson University Speech, Language and Hearing Center to be refurbished under contract and then issued to clients who could otherwise not afford them.

The cellphones will go to a veterans organization that will send them to be recycled for cash. The cash is then used to purchase phone cards to issue to troops overseas to use to call home.

This is another example of what members of Lions Clubs International do every day to serve their communities.
